TRANSFORMING PRECIOUS MEMORIES INTO WORKS OF ART
If you are interested in taking a vintage photograph and turning it into a unique and color drenched oil painting, reach out to me.
My process involves getting to know as much as I can about my subjects in order to create a personalized and meaningful finished product.
We will begin with a conversation about what it is that you want to capture; I will then ask you to dig out your old family photos and together we'll choose something that I believe will 'translate' into a good painting (sometimes the worst photos make the best paintings). I want to know the family story: Who is in the photo? What was special about that time? Is there a bigger story behind it? The more I know, the better! Some of my most successful commissions involved reading family histories and interviewing elderly grandparents.
Once we agree on an image, I'll ask you for other details that I might incorporate - is there a fantastic wallpaper pattern from your childhood home or a special dress your mom or sister wore? I try to incorporate as many personal details as I can into my work (assuming these make good visual sense). If not, I will figure out the best way to showcase the memory you want to transform into a piece of art.
At this point in the process you can show me the space where you'd like the piece to hang and we can choose a size and shape of the canvas (either rectangular or square) and then I'll get to work.
Painting time is 6-8 weeks
